I'm going to play long into close for weeks expiry. SPY

---

Aaaaaand trail set

Somebody is spankin some rally ass somewhere

Call your shot. Gap up or down Monday?

I'll go with Ags smoke Miami and we gap and go to 392+ on SPY

There. Yalls turn.

Feels like we need to retest 3925-35 before another big flush.

Going gap up. No trades on.

Isn't Powell suppose to speak September 21st regarding inflation? From the reports it sounds like its going up so wouldn't that make the overall market go down again?
I'm curious how much the market has already taken in consideration of that or what that will do for the days leading up to the speech.

Think at this point the market is just afraid of a 1% rate hike, 0.75% is already fully baked in. They'll be looking towards whether Powell thinks the current efforts are having enough of an impact. I don't think its very clear that the minimal increase spells the doom we've seen hit the market over the last week, but it definitely isn't a good sign and could result in the Fed reacting with a stronger hand. Obviously, this inflation is (i) not transitory and (ii) a significant problem being exacerbating by our gross overspending.

Went with some 0DTE 384/385/386c butterfly lottos for a dime.

Rode these from .10 to .29. And some 0DTE 383/385/387c lottos from .4 to 1.25.

Have a great weekend gents. First week at the new job has me trying to pick up on a Korean accent again. It's been a while since I've worked with foreign nationals. But they're pretty freaking cool so it all works out. Actually got to read some of the plays this week and many are coming along in this forum. It's a great place to be.

That's awesome.

I also started my new gig on September 1. I am not used to the... freedom.

For 16 years, a bell rung every 45 minutes. I ate lunch (nearly always leftovers I brought with me) in about 20 minutes... and I was on a practice field or game field for 20+ hours a week for most of the year. Sure, school has some decent little vacation times, but being a coach... many of those got eaten into quite a bit.

Being in an office on pretty much my own schedule... and eating lunch (not leftovers) for an hour... sometimes longer. This is a whole new world for me.

I made a different thread about this, but changing my wardrobe over from dry fit everything to office attire was honestly one of the bigger tasks... Was not looking forward to all that cotton. Thankfully there are lots of good "performance" dress clothes now that I have built most of my wardrobe with (Mizzen & Main being one, but a few others as well).

I take my Series 7 sometime in the next 4-6 weeks, then I'll have one more and I'll be a financial advisor.

That's awesome man. From one former teacher to another, it's worth it. Left teaching nearly a decade ago and pursued my CPA license. It was absolute hell going through it. There were days in a row where I never saw my kids from leaving the house to arriving back home but it's been worth it. Especially with this move. Betting on myself and it's been a long time since I've done that.

Let's just say my day was strong into the close.

I believe more downside will come and possibly new lows. 3200, 3000 not so sure. 3400-3500 I could see in next 2. Here to mid terms I think chop and grind down. Pops are sold. Post election some sort of so called rally but not to new highs.

All that said price dictates all. As a TA trader I take what's in front of me and play that. Work to not have a bias.
